Early Monday Riyad Farid Hijab arrived in Jordan with his wife and four children. He devised his plan in secrecy. He and hiw people crossed the desert like refugees.
After arrival in Jordan, Hijab said:
"I announce today my defection from the killing and terrorist regime and I announce that I have joined the ranks of the freedom and dignity revolution. I announce that I am from today a soldier in this blessed revolution".
“This is a proof that the political basis of the regime is collapsing,” said Samir Nachar, a leader of the Syrian National Council, the main exile opposition group. “This is the momentum we needed to tell the political and military elite that it is time for them to jump off the sinking ship.”
According to Al Jazeera Saeed Jalili, a top aide to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has arrived in Damascus on a surprise visit for talks with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Iranian state television has reported. Jalili, the head of Iran's supreme national security council, flew in from Beirut, where he held talks on Monday with Lebanese leaders. He was to meet Assad within the hour. After the meeting, Jalili was to give a news conference in the Syrian capital, Iranian state broadcaster IRIB said on its website. Iran, Assad's key ally, has been increasingly critical of support by the United States, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar for the rebels fighting Syria's armed forces.
